In the current situation the company refuels its vehicles with ARLA 32 acquired at wholesale and stored in the company's head office located in large São Paulo and, when necessary, at retail at unscheduled gas stations but which are located on the route. The alternative is to add a second tank for ARLA 32 at the vehicles to cancel these unscheduled external refueling.
